I took a sniff at a the library Great Gatsby book... it oddly smelled like villiana outside but on the inside it smelled like recycled elephant poop paper.( it's not as bad as it sounds) I actully smelled elephant poop paper and it smells like leaves.

I have a lot of books in my house that are 40 years old or more due to my dad. I found one that was nearly falling apart and had yellow pages and smelled it. It smelled like the usual booky smell mixed with dust and history and awesome. Sensory overload. Also I'm among those who sniffed TFiOS before reading.
